GOOD IDEAS DATABASE (for the STEAL THE CORE METHOD)

Below is a collection of good ideas from different countries around the world and from different industries.

As a quick reminder, we identify the core or essence of a good idea we see in a different environment, and then see if we can 'steal' or adapt it for our business or environment.
